July 14. (AP.) The governors of Indiana and New York took the witness stand at an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing today to testify that the southern plan for revision of South-to North freight rates would handi cap northern industries. Indiana's Governor M. Clifford Townsend urged that "no further advantage" be given southern ship- pers, who. he said, in some cases are able to undersell northern competitors partially because of lower wage scales in the South.

Herbert H. Lehman, chief executive of New York, asked the commission to "most thoroughly explore" the rate proposal "before it is given effect, even in part." Its consequences, from the northern standpoint, would be "serious," he said. Southern Victory Foreseen. Sandwiched between their testimony was the unexpected admission by a northern witness that southern interests probably would eventually win their plea for downwardadjustment. The witness was James R.

Van Delinder. of Chicago, of the Chicago. Indiana and Louisville Railroad. When J. Van Dyke Norman.

Louisville attorney, asked him if the ICC had not approved a parity on South-to-North coke rates, Van De-Linder replied: "Yes. and youH probably wear the commission down on this, too." Northern Industry Seen Waning. Governors Lehman and Townsend told of waning industry in the North. The New York executive quoted figures showing that sizeable Empire state factories had decreased from in 1919 to 33,600 in 1938. In Indiana In the last 10 years, Governor Townsend said, the total value of factory products has fallen off by 28 per cent, "while in the southern states it has increased by 16 per cent." "I feel justified in objecting to any artificial assistance, such as rate reduction, to further benefit an industry that is displacing goods produced by our more adequately paid northern labor with goods produced by the much less adequately paid southern labor." South May Defeat Self.

Lehman declared southern states might be defeating their own purpose "to the extent that they seek to build up southern industries at the expease of New York for the sake of selling their products in New York markets. "The citizens of New York can not remain purchasers of the products of industry, cither in the South or North, unless their earning pow er is continued, he said. Asquith Slajer Gets Respite. Boston. July 14.

(AP.) The Governor and Executive Council today granted a respite until August 30 to Oscar Bartolini, Quincy che sentenced to die in the electric chair for the slaying of Mrs. Grayce Asquith. TODAY 'I Must Keep I must keep on and on! I don't know what I would do if I stopped!" This is an actual remark recently made to me. There is some truth and understanding in it. And there is much misunderstanding in it as well.

Whether the person who ms.Se the remark made it with under standing of all its implications I do not know. If she doesn understand what she said or rather what she is doing her misunderstanding will prove her undoing. sh. a tch onrt Tint very young. She has a daily task which reauires all her energies.

To this she has given herself for many years. Of course, she has some leisure time, some evenings and there is a long summer vacation. Not content with the regular work which supports her and. I think, a dependent parent as well, she ues nearly every scrap of her spare time and her vacation in study for a degree. She has been doing this for years.

She is very tired but she intends to keep on. It is as if she had settled into a habit of living at top speed and she cannot think of herself as not taking extension courses and going to summer school and writing papers and reading prescribed texts. It will take her two years after this one, two winters of extension courses and two more summers of school. It looks like a long stretch and she was a little aweary when she insisted that she must keep on and on. Was I mistaken when I thought that I caught a note of desperation in her voice? Activities carefully planned to realize an ambition, when that ambition is carefully chosen, usually call for a great deal of steadfastness.

The ability to keep on when tired and discouraged is one of the more admirable of human qualities. Upon it progress and civilization itself depend. It is the foundation of genuine self respect and usually wins the respect of others as well. i I I i I Scotland Yard Hunts Man in Trilby Hat After Young Woman's Body Found Near Court Wimbledon, July 14. AP Scotland Yard groped tonight through stories of midnight whispers in a darkened lane and of a terrified man in a Trilby hat in an effort to solve the mystery of the slaying of a chic young woman almost at the edge of Wimbledon's famed center court.

Two puzzling leads came from workers in the exclusive green-hedged residence district fringing the All England Tennis Club where the brunette woman in black was found clubbed and slashed to death. They were: A watchman's tale of a running man in a brown hat whose "eyes seemed to be popping out of his head." The story of a cook in a nearbv residence who saw two cars null un side by side in the lane where the Doay was lound and heard one driver whisper, "are you all right?" Both incidents occurred about midnight last night, an hour after the established time of death. The fact that the killer slashed the victim's features beyond recognition hampered identification, but Wimbledon residents thought the girl about 36. slender, with tinted fingernails and stenciled evebrows. might have been the same thev had seen frequently waiting for a motorist at the edge of Wimbledon Common.

Searching squads hunted for her missing hat and handbag. They found a short crowbar on the common and a brown glove near the body. Also sought was a bloodstained motor xar, tire marks of which were found on the girl's clothing. The body was found by a motorist in a private lane called Somerset Road, directly opposite Wimbledon center court where an international throng saw Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs battle in the tennis finals not two weeks ago.

Danbury Prison to Be In Pembroke District Danbury. July 14. (AP.) Captain A. H. Conner, assistant to James Bennett, director of Federal prisons, announced last night that the site of the proposed $1,750,000 prison will be in the Pembroke Dis trict.

He said 220 acres will be required and that the new institution. on which work is expected to start August 15. will have yearly payroll of approximately $200,000. The structure will be of the self-enclosing type and several of ths adjoining residences will be built on property adjoining the prison proper for occupancy by employees. Like Human Eye of Experimentation If a mirror had this effect, why not put one in his camera? Valentine did.

He designed a prism 1-100 of an inch thick and slightly less than an inch in length and width. It was made of two pieces of glass fitted together at a 45 degree angle. It was so fragile that more than a dozen models were broken before it was finally perfected. One surface was coated with mercury-Valentine installed the prism In his camera between the lens and the aperture where individual frames of film are exposed. An image captured by the lens became two when it passed through the prism.

Then a "beam-splitter" combined the two images again into one.

Movie Camera Sees After Six Years Hollywood, July 14. (AP.) fragile prism of glass, thin as paper and smaller than a half dollar, is i enabling a movie camera today to! see like the human eye. The camera, a standard type, had I been limited to two dimensions. Now the prism helps it to perceive a third dimension, depth and solidity, which had escaped it heretofore. It is almost like looking through i a stereoscope.

The flat likenesses of actors become rounded figures Backgrounds are distinctly separ- i ated from nearer objects. A new i reality of space is recorded on film, The "human-eye" camera is the result of six years' experiments by i Joseph-Valentine. Universal Siudio cinematographer. The idea occurred to him one night in New York when he left a theater and noticed that the images in a lobby mirror had more clarity than those he had just seen on the screen. 1A Riirinlnh Valentino in "SON OF THIi SHIF.K" frill Penner "GO CHASE VOCIISF.I.F" Ann Dvorak, Spencer Tracy "SKY DKVILS" Peter I.orre in "MR.

H. PARKER. Hold your horses! Here come the elephants." That's what they used to shout the Gay Nineties as the circus parade came along Main Street. The horse-and-buggy days are gone along with the day of the circus parade but under the Big Top. the circus goes on forever, as was demonstrated Thursday, when Cole Brothers' circus visited this city for afternoon and evening performances.

The same crush of people, parents clutching children and children clutching popcorn, peanuts and a dozen kmus of souvenirs, the same orange seats and bleachers, the same shouting of hawkers, the same roustabouts in red uniforms, the odor of wild animals, horses, sawdust and trampled grass, the din of the band, all spell "circus," yesterday today and tomorrow. Twenty-four displays, occupying three rings, were offered by Cole Brothers to their enthusiastic patrons, of which the "magnificent -tournament and g.peaacie, ville" the perpetual parade around the track. opened tne program. Beatty Features Bill. Featuring the bill was Clyde Beatty, probably the country's most familiar txainer of lions and tigers, who in the steel arena, drove two dozen or more of the big cats around from perch to perch, over hurdles and along roiling tubs, with whip and revolved.

The sight of Mr. Beatty crouched over, glaring a b'ack-maned Nubian lion into obedience, put the audience into testacies, as did that of two great males sitting up on their haunches like a pair of shaven poodles. Capping the act was the spinning tiger which whirled around as if on a pivot at a speed that made him almost a blur. In the same kind of act was Harriet Beatty, Clyde's wife, called the only woman lion tamer, who induced a lion and a tiger to take a ride around the arena on an elephant. Tne sensation of the show, next to Mr.

Beatty's jungle doings, was the triple somersault performed by the sister of The Great Lorenzo, in a little red automobile. Lorenzo, the management explained, had not looped the loop successfully a few weeks ago. Thursday the car shot-down the Incline, tumbled over thrioe. and landed In a net. Everybody thought it was great Animal Acts Mainstay.

Animal acts were the mainstay of "The showrTn addition tcny seals, the program offered elephants and horses, in a series of drills and maneuvers. The elephants gambolled about, sat down, lay down, rolled over and jigged, and finally lined up on the track on their hind legs. The Liberty Horses, 24 in the center ring and a dozen in each banking ring, trotted about in intricate patterns, unsorting and soru ing themselves numerically. Young women rode gaited horses and made them dance. Someone drove a hitch of 16 horses galloping around through their paces.

The Aurelia Family built pyramids on the backs of bunched horses, and generally did gymnastic and trick riding. Of acrobats and gymnasts there was a profusion. The Great Silvers, slack wire artist, was an outstanding feature, with his clowning and straight work. The Zoeppe Family, on unsupported ladders, demonstrated feats of balancing alone and in combination. On the high wire the Cretonas provided a thrill equal to Mr.

Beatty's. when they rode out in midair on two bicycles, balancing a chair on a bar between them and allowed a girl to climb up on the shoulders of the man seated in the chair. The young men and women on the fiyinz trapezes were the Peeries II-liiigtons and the Flying Harolds. They performed all kinds --crossover's between the swings, filling in the intervals with somersaults and twiste. The clowns were everywhere all the time.

A pinnacle of funmaking was the bucking "Lizzie'' which chased its passengers around the tent and fired off cannonades at them. Also getting a big hand was the appearances of a dozen clowns, all out of an ordinary coupe.

It is not for me to say that she is paying too much. She is the only person who can determine that. But she should be perfecLiy certain that what she is doing must be done.
